How would a Wilson-for-Watson trade work out?

 

I doubt Wilson wants to subject himself to the Houston Texans trash heap, which might get an NFLPA caution soon. Other than his feelings, the logistics and player role do make sense. Watson would be in a market with a more solid front office and a history of success, while Wilson could try to turn around an organization in a mess.

No player is turning around that toxic organization if watt, Watson, and Hopkins couldn’t

I don't get why The Jets are coming up in trade rumors. 

What exactly is appealing about the team right now?

That they’re the New York Jets. Sure, we see it as the dumpster fire it is, but others see the potential of being known as the guy who turned a bad team in the biggest market around. Be the King of New York so to speak.

*coughNew Jerseycough*

 

But, if you can rebuild the Jets (remember, there's nowhere to go but up), and with how pedestrian the Giants are; the crown is ripe for the picking.

Metlife Stadium is about 10 miles south of Manhattan which is about as far as Arrowhead Stadium is from downtown Kansas City. Yeah it's New Jersey but it's barely New Jersey. Sporting KC is technically in Kansas City, Kansas but that doesn't mean I don't follow them if I'm in Missouri.

I still agree with your sentiment that the Jets can become the king if they draft and develop smart. Because it seems right now like the Giants are like a car on the side of the road with a flat tire, or multiple flats. It's not within reach right now, but can easily be within a few years.

and ... AT&T stadium is even further away from downtown Dallas than MetLife is from Manhattan. 

Then there is the "San Francisco" 49ers...

And if you've been to New York City and/or MetLife, the stadium is so clearly placed just about as close as it can be to the city proper. There's a lot of stuff already in the city! Not a lot of room for a football stadium!

Change your name to Arlcowboyfan92, and THEN you can :censored: about them being called New York.

It's amazing how this is the only suburban team (well, teams, since there are two of them) that draw these comments.  The Football Team plays in Maryland and nobody says anything about that. I honestly believe if New York State and New York City didn't have the same name, nobody would squawk. If the city was called Gotham, New York and the Gotham Jets and Gotham Giants played in the New Jersey suburbs of Gotham, nobody would care.  Otherwise, where's the "Maryland Football Team" bandwagon?

You mean the "Landover Football Team" ... because I am sure the Ravens own Maryland these days.

JJ Watt on Twitter: "source: me. https://t.co/1Y6okQBUy5" / Twitter

 

JJ Watt has signed with Arizona.  Source: Himself.

[BBTV 21,058]

LOL.  So much for wanting to win.  He just wanted out and to play the rest of his career in obscurity without any pressure.

[Red Comet 1,761]

I dunno. Kyler Murray does look promising and they almost made the playoffs last year and would have if they weren’t relying on an AAF starter the last couple of weeks. If the defense can be tightened up, the Cardinals could be a dark horse candidate.

The idea is that by signing JJ Watt, the defense already is tightened up. Whoops.

 

If JJ Watt had gone to the Bills, he would be poised for a resurgence. That he hasn't mean he's a garbage player put out to pasture.

[AustinFromBoston 834]

If he wanted to win, he would have signed with Buffalo or Cleveland. 
 

Instead he just wanted to play with his buddy D-Hop again.

Von Miller is next.

I think you guys are sleeping on the Cardinals a bit. That division is kinda wide open right now, too.

I think all four teams have a shot to be good.  Might be the best division in the NFL.

 

The Cardinals is an odd choice for Watt and while some of the reactions are a bit over the top, I think it is an indication that he's not what he used to be and there wasn't that much demand. (Maybe even that people were too hard on the Texans for letting him go).
